The drugs belonged to someone else.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation's Gary Dourdan (Warrick Brown) was arrested last week on suspicion of drug possession. The actor issued a statement to Access Hollywood this past weekend. He spoke about the Coachella festival, which he attended prior to his arrest. "Obviously I certainly wish I hadn't been responsible for so many people getting to the festival's VIP area," Dourdan wrote. "And the after party, it ran me ragged, but I’m glad pulling over did prevent a DUI. I recommend not driving at all, but a little kip (nap) is always good (on either side of the road LOL)."

Dourdan went on to say that the drugs found in the vehicle were not his. "I am blessed that the Sgt. realized that the luggage carrying whatever they found was not mine and that my tests have been coming back negative," Dourdan explained. "I've been happy to cooperate in any way to clear myself and go on with my blessed life."

"I am so sorry to all my fans, especially the young ones, like Taylor Swift, who I should've been supporting with my daughter instead of driving tired in the desert," Dourdan said, referencing the musician he was supposed to present with an award at last Sunday's 10th Annual Young Hollywood Awards. "I am planning events to get the word out that you don't need a bunch of nasty chemicals to have a good time. Just good friends, family, good music and a good honest spirit full of faith."
